1970's boating magazine ads started the addiction, And while down at the community boat ramp in Tequesta, FL., I noticed a 20 SF tied up full of rain water........The owner walked up and asked if I wanted a ride while he ran the water out! I was hooked!

I started studying boats after my Mako sank last year. I had always heard about Seacraft boats and how they rode, etc. Then I started to look around at all the small boat comm guys, small boat charter guys and the guys who 'knew boats'. I knew what I had to find.

When I was growing up we had a yellow 79 20' SF that my dad bought new. It had a 78 Evinrude 140 on the back until '96 or so when dad put a new 175 'Rude on the back. I remember that thing hauled butt with the new motor! (probably 44-45 WOT but it cruised really well in chop with the 6 cyl engine) Dad sold the boat to somebody from the Miami/Ft Lauderdale area in 04. That's how I learned about and got hooked on SC's. I guess I didn't really have a chance to be happy with anything else after growing up with the SC ride.

I used to commercial fish for fluke, scup and seabass while in college (summers) in a 14ft skiff back in 95 - 98. One day while unloading my scup (caught inshore in a secret protected area) 3 old guys (in their 70's) pulled up to the fish buyer in a 23 yellow tsunami with several 128 quart coolers full of Jumbo Big Blue Sea scup all iced down. I asked where they were fishing. They told me they came from Nomans (20+ mile run). Wind was blowing 20 - 25knots SW . . . I asked how the hell they got out there in this weather . . . They told me the boat could handle anything. I remember look at the boat and admiring the high gunnels, HUGE cockpit, and sharp V. The boat just looked mean . . . like it could eat up the ocean.

Didn't know anything about them. Family got one when I was in college and fell in love with the ride. Wish Mosely had made a flats skiff too! I'll settle for an 18 if I can find one.

Bought a 20 seafari way way way back, loved the ride even with a old 1972 135 rude on the back. She was a sweet boat but I wanted something different, so 4 or 5 Seacrafts later.... Now I wouldnt mind going back down to a 20 Seafari ob again.

Sounds like a good plan!

One of the great things about this line of boats is that you can move up and down the spectrum without loosing the essential sea keeping abilities!
